27 gallon hex light

Good hard to find replacment

By Jay from Pittsburgh, PA

On August 2, 2013:

My HEX tank was manufactured in 1990. The light fixture finally gave out and I had a hard time finding a replacement of the appropriate size with the wood grain front, until I found this fixture on Pet Mountain. Shipping was fast and the light was a perfect fit. This is a quick start ballast light and has no starters to replace, a nice feature. The one thing different than the picture, is that besides the wood grain, the main body of the light fixture itself is brown, not black as pictured. It is alright with me, but some people may not like it. I hope this light lasts as long as the old one did. It also comes with a full spectrum bulb that some may not like. I happen to like it as it accents neon fish and any bright colors in the tank. I have to recommend it.

Slight problem

By Jolie from Newnan, GA

On March 23, 2011:

When we took the light out of the box, one of the plastic pieces where the light unit is screwed to the cover was broken, so the whole light unit was loose. Without that to hold it in place, the other piece would not have held the weight and so we almost had to return it. Instead we decided to try super-glue and see what would happen. So far, so good, but we were disappointed in the quality of construction. It was just so difficult to find this part that we didn't want to have to find another or deal with returning it if we didn't have to.
